Get data from zabbix

[MatteoM]

Hi there!
I'm new and I'm using zabbix for a project for a course of big data analysis for a task of anomaly detection.
The project consist of get some statics (cpu, memory ecc..) from docker containers.
First of all I'm not an expert of Zabbix so I've some simple questions for you:
- I want to select a subset of item of by the template app docker, how can I do this?
-To get data I've read that it's better to use the API pyzabbix, but actually I'm using zabbix on docker and I have found some problems to use this API because it seems that my zabbix don't have api_jsonrpc.php file, how can I overcome this problem?
- Alternatively I've thought to use Mysql to retrive the data but there are so much tables stored in the database from zabbix, so I don't understan what tables to check to found the data.

I have zero experience in SQL but even I was able to browse the tables and identify the structures, how they relate, and where the actual data points are stored. Joining them back together into something orderly was fairly simple too.

I assume you just need to use filters to only monitor a subset of the containers? I haven't done any monitoring of docker before though sorry.
